If you cannot blame it on the rain, you can always try the low-flying aircraft, hot-dog vans and the heavy metal doyen, Marilyn Manson. Casey Stoner’s victory in the British Grand Prix was a more straightforward affair than the excuses that continued to pour forth in his wake about the Donington Park circuit.

Valentino Rossi’s fourth place means he is 26 points adrift of Stoner, and he joined the chorus of disapproval that has long accused aeroplanes dumping fuel as they depart nearby East Midlands airport for the circuit’s grip problems.
